El valle de Aconcagua has a Mediterranean climate with warm summers that are cooled by breezes of the Pacific
Ocean and its cold Humboldt Current. This cooling influence creates a long growing season with ripenig some two to
three read more...weeks later than any other Chilean wine region. Late ripening enhances the flavours, intensity and concentration
of our wines.
Average rainfall in the valley is 250mm (9.8 inches) and only comes during the winter; this is about a quarter of the
rainfall in Bordeaux, making for generally more concentrated wines. This lack of rain helps the viticulturalists to control
vigour and berry size, as well as to maintain ripening. As the air is warm and dry, fungal diseases like mildew and
botrytis are unknown in el valle de Aconcagua, this allows us to pursue a non-interventionist, sustainable approach to
viticulture.
Irrigation is vital for grape production in the Aconcagua Region. We are blessed with a wonderful supply of snowmelt
from the Andes that flows into the river system; this water is then diverted to irrigation canals that surround the valley
taking it to where it is needed. Drip irrigation systems then deliver the water to the feet os specific vines.
The soil make up of the valley is diverse and complex; the riverbed soils are very stony because of the acumulation of
stones carried by the glaciers in the Andes Mountains, In the foothills are granite soils with high gravel and sand
content, while the valley floors have loam and clay loams.    (hide)

Light, with slightly overpowering hints of citrus. Would recommend giving it a try if you find it under $10. Not a repeat for me.

Another gorgeous example of what Chardonnay can do in Chile's Casablanca valley. Subtle green melon, apple and peach, with great lemon acidity and slightly vanilla-biscuity complexity from spending time on its lees.
